Often Overlooked

We all know the down side of processed sugar consumption, yet many continue on and enjoy the health issues that accompany such inputs. Yes, a bit sarcastic but when I consider how long the information has been available regarding this diet issue, my empathy for choosing to ingest poison wanes. The following is considered potentially worse by many health experts, yet consumption is at a dangerously high level in our culture. Consider the following bullet points:


  • Omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) is the most common fat in the American diet. Most people get 25 times more LA than they need. At most, you need about 2 grams a day, but the average American gets about 50 grams a day, thanks to the fact that most processed foods and condiments are loaded with omega-6 seed oils

  • LA gets incorporated into your cell membranes where it causes inflammation. Its half-life is nearly two years, so ridding your body of stored LA completely can take up to seven years

  • Eliminating LA is a marathon, not a sprint. Ineffective and potentially harmful ways of eliminating LA include extended fasting and overtaxing your body with strenuous endurance exercise

  • To stop the accumulation of LA in your cells, eliminate seed oils from your diet. Cook with butter, ghee or coconut oil, and avoid all processed foods, restaurant foods, condiments, and animals raised on grains, such as chicken, pork, and beef not grass fed until completion



To emphasize, source is so important for all things, especially food. I will eat restaurant foods occasionally,

but, my chosen diet avoids animals fed grains, especially the feed mixes commercially designed to speed production and increase the bottom line. Grass fed versus grain fed, watch for it.
